Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan O’Reilly will be placed on long-term injured reserve with a broken finger, head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed Monday.

O'Reilly underwent surgery for the injury and is expected to miss the next four weeks of action. The timeline puts him on track to return before the conclusion of the Maple Leafs' regular season on April 13.

Maple Leafs captain John Tavares has also been ruled out of Tuesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils with an unspecified illness.

O’Reilly suffered the injury when he took a shot off his hand during Saturday’s loss to the Vancouver Canucks and he left the ice in obvious discomfort.
